House Memorial 35 requests the formation of a work group to develop a regulatory framework for mobile home parks in New Mexico. The work group will include representatives from various state agencies, including the Superintendent of Regulation and Licensing, the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority, and the Public Regulation Commission, as well as a landlord and a resident of a mobile home park. The group is tasked with addressing issues such as rent increases, which currently lack regulation, and ensuring fair treatment for residents who face the risk of eviction and costly relocation.
The work group is expected to report its findings and recommendations to interim legislative committees by December 1, 2025, and again by September 1, 2026. The resolution emphasizes the need for oversight and regulation to protect the interests of mobile home park residents, who often face unique challenges related to tenancy and housing stability. The Department of Regulation and Licensing will provide necessary support to the work group throughout this process.
